We’re united with baristas in their fight for a fair contract. And if Starbucks’ failure to bargain in good faith forces them to go on strike, you’ll find me on the picket line.

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know. A great soul if ever there was one www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Same as it ever was.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

Moldova's pro-Western governing party won a clear parliamentary majority, defeating pro-Russian groups in an election that was widely viewed as a stark choice between East and West.

A friend who know this couple from school asks that this be circulated:

Remember that we’re being lied to whenever we’re told that we can’t afford something that benefits families. Just a couple of weeks ago Congressional Republicans voted to make ICE richer than most of world’s militaries.

A historic moment here at Sheridan Circle as the four sons of Orlando Letelier (former Chilean ambassador & government official and fellow at my office) approach the place where their father was assassinated by a car bomb planted by General Pinochet’s thugs 49 years ago.

Ben-Ghiat: If we look at Brazil’s history, there’s a good reason why they took a different path from the US. They had a military coup in 1964 that led to over 20 years of horrible dictatorship. The political class in charge now were alive during that period.

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

I learned of Nexstar when they bought 2 of my local stations and they ran the exact same newscast with only a few anchors swapped out. One of them used to be a great local news station until they sold their souls to Trump. They were the ones who broke the identity of Ashley "Headshot" Bibitt too.

This Korean worker raid seems like it might turn out to be a major turning point in the US economy — and the astounding thing is it’s not clear anyone senior in government approved it? At the very least: There appear to be no consequences for the people who launched it.

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trump’s immunity appeal. The court rejected that request and didn’t issue its immunity decision until July 2024. Trump’s federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.

Really worth reading Adam Serwer’s latest. He makes the point that whether companies like Nexstar/ABC/Disney are “capitulating because of fear or because they see a financial interest in aligning with the administration is ultimately irrelevant.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Exactly this

Cowards. Shameless, morally bankrupt cowards.

I am proud to announce that my bill, the bipartisan Healthy Start Reauthorization Act of 2025 just passed @energycommerce.bsky.social unanimously. We must continue fighting for new moms and babies everywhere. I look forward to getting this to the president's desk.

I take no pleasure in this. Most Black people in the U.S. live in red states. But it’s important to be truthful about the caliber of governance. And so much of this is the bad decisionmaking that results from racism. Like refusing Medicaid expansion. Underfunding public education.

No coincidence the very first thing he did is blame the Jews. This is literally straight out of the 1930s. Say political opponents are to blame for everything, claim only submission to the right's views will bring unity, and employ the full power of the State to implement it.
